Ethel & Ernest Ethel & Ernest Learning Resource Storyboarding ethelandernestthemovie.com Ethel & Ernest Storyboarding Storyboarding Ethel & Ernest is based on a graphic novel by Raymond Briggs, who has also written and illustrated other well-known books including Fungus the Bogeyman, Ivor the Invisible, Ug and The Snowman. Ethel & Ernest is a hand-drawn animation recreating Raymond Briggs’ instantly recognisable style. In this activity learners will focus on the part storyboarding has to play in the creation of an animated film.

Explain that learners are going to create their own storyboard for a sequence in Ethel & Ernest. Provide learners with Ethel & Ernest backgrounds and Ethel & Ernest character sheets. Ask learners to close their eyes and try to visualize the scene as you read out the Ethel & Ernest script extract. 4. Provide pairs of students with the Ethel & Ernest script extract and/or display it on the whiteboard. Ask learners to discuss what images they saw, thinking about the setting, colours, character’s body language and expressions, sounds and dialogue and camera shots and angles. You could use questions from the 3Cs and 3Ss Question Card to lead discussion. As you discuss the scene description annotate it with students’ ideas. 5. As a whole class work with students to mark up the description to divide it into six sections. Suggested sections: the live action opening, the aerial view, the traders in the street, Ernest saying goodbye to his Stepmother, Ernest speaking to the traders, and Ernest cycling off. 6. Assign each group or pair of students one section to storyboard into six shots and provide students with either six sheets of A4 paper or 2 sheets of the Storyboard Template and drawing materials to illustrate their six shot storyboard. Provide students with a Camera Shots Sheet, if necessary, so that they can use appropriate shots in their storyboard.. 7. At the end of this exercise you class will have 36 hand drawn shots, which make up a storyboard for the described scene. These can be assembled around the wall of your classroom. 8. Groups could photograph their storyboard and insert the stills into iMovie and record the relevant dialogue and/or soundtrack using the microphone. These movies could then be edited together to create an animatic. See the Animation Process Viewer to see the storyboard and animatic for this scene. To prepare for creating the soundtrack watch the Video on Foley, Richard Overall, Editor to learn about how authentic sounds were created for Ethel & Ernest. 9. If students are able to watch Ethel & Ernest at the cinema or on television, ask them to look out for this sequence and compare how Richard Fawdry and his team interpreted it with the students’ ideas. Discuss the challenges involved in animating a long sequence with a large team and how students think these can be overcome. Resources available on the Ethel & Ernest website: ethelandernestthemovie.com ethelandernestthemovie.com 3 Ethel & Ernest Storyboarding ETHEL & ERNEST by Raymond Briggs Screen adaptation by Roger Mainwood Live action opening involving Raymond Briggs at his Sussex home. He is seen working on a drawing of Ethel and Ernest. He looks through a magnifying glass at the figures he is drawing, and when he is finished he pushes the magnifying glass away. As he does so the edge of the magnifying glass acts as a wipe to the first scene of animation. London - 1928. Autumn, early morning, misty. High angle view of the London cityscape. The caption LONDON 1928 appears. A de Havilland Hawk Moth plane flies through shot, and the camera starts to pan down and focus in on one south west London street. Traders’ horses and carts are getting ready for the day’s work. We focus in on the house where Ernest and his Stepmother live. A horse is led through shot and leaves a fine deposit of manure on the road in front of Ernest’s door. Two street traders are getting ready for the days work ahead of them. Ernest comes out of the front door with his bicycle. His Stepmother is glimpsed behind him. ERNEST Bye, Mum. ERNEST’S STEP MOTHER Bye, dear. Ernest lifts his bike up and steps over the horse manure as if it is a common occurrence. One of the street traders turns to Ernest. FRUIT MAN Ta ta, Ern mate. ERNEST Ta ta. Ernest gets on his bike, and as he rides off he waves at his friends, and one of them waves back.

  • Rebecca's Story
    Spring 2018 Chestnuts The newsletter from Chestnut Tree House Rebecca’s story ebecca Torricelli is 18 years old and has spinal muscular atrophy (SMA), a condition of the muscles and nervous system that affects around one in 8,000 people. She has never walked or crawled and Rhas always been in a wheelchair. Her condition affects her mobility, swallowing and respiratory system. Rebecca’s lungs are so susceptible to infection that a simple cold can lead to pneumonia and hospitalisation and her ability to swallow has deteriorated so much that she can now only eat puréed food. But despite all this, Rebecca, who is an extraordinary young lady, considers herself lucky: children with the most severe form of her condition rarely survive past infancy. She has kindly shared her story with us. “I can’t put into words what an amazing place it is and can only imagine what a haven it must have been for my parents.” I have been going to Chestnut Tree House since I was five years old. I was one of the first children to ever attend the hospice just after it was set up. Beforehand there was nowhere for struggling families to turn, and I can’t put into words what an amazing place it is and can only imagine what a haven it must have been for my parents. I was diagnosed with SMA type 1 when I was 15 months old, and my parents were originally told that I would lose all movement and muscle strength, so that I couldn’t even move my arms or head; I would not live past two years old.

  • Ug: Boy Genius of the Stone Age by Raymond Briggs (Red Fox)
    Ug: Boy Genius of the Stone Age by Raymond Briggs (Red Fox) In this multi-layered graphic text the concept of a ‘stone age’ is taken to extremes with everything, including trousers made of stone. The story follows the quest of a Stone Age boy, Ug, in his search for softer trousers. With ideas beyond his time his questioning and inventive mind proves exasperating at times for his parents. This book provides many opportunities for discussion and lots of humour at different levels from the illustrations to the footnotes. Overall aims of this teaching sequence: To engage children with a story told through a mixture of speech and visual imagery To explore themes and issues, and develop and sustain ideas through discussion To develop creative responses to the text through drama, storytelling and artwork To compose writing for a wide variety of purposes To write in role in order to explore and develop empathy for characters This teaching sequence is designed for a Year 3 or Year 4 class. Overview of this teaching sequence This teaching sequence is approximately 4 weeks long if spread out over 20 sessions. If each writing opportunity is fully developed from inception to publication, sessions will need to be extended over more hours or more days to allow for this, thereby extending the number of weeks required to complete. The teaching sequence provides opportunity to explore the interrelationship between words and illustrations in a comic book and how the design and layout of panels on each page support narrative progression. It immerses the children in a fictionalized version of a Stone Age community in which the author plays with our expectations of the era to create humour in both the text and the images.

    Help Join us Log in Search this website Enter keyword... Submit Quick book search Enter keyword... Submit Home Reading English Maths Primary school Bookshop Kids' activities Blog Expert Help Choosing books A love of books is one of the greatest gifts you can give your child. Reports have shown that children who read for pleasure are more likely to do well at school and the earlier you start the better. It’s great to set aside a quiet time just for them so they will learn to enjoy books and gradually absorb how books work e.g. reading from left to right and page by page. This lays good foundations for learning to read. Even after they have learned to read themselves children still enjoy being read to which lets them experience great stories that they may not quite be able to read themselves just yet. But how on earth do you choose from the huge number of wonderful books available? Read children’s librarian Greta Paterson’s top tips for how to choose books for your child aged 3–7 years or Beverley Humphrey’s top tips for how to choose books for older readers aged 7–11 years. Ch oosin g books for 3-7 year olds Choose books you think your child will enjoy, or better still, let them choose themselves. Children who enjoy books are far more likely to keep reading. Remember they don’t have to finish a book if they discover they don’t like it and never make them read a book just because you think they ought to.

  • Graphic Texts Comics, Graphic Novels and Manga
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Northumbria Research Link Graphic Texts Comics, graphic novels and manga (the Japanese word for comics) are a wonderful set of groups of texts that offer much to explore for readers of all ages, ranging from the simplest short humour story to multi-volume epics. Spanning a huge range of genres, they contain profound and powerful texts, as well as pleasurable, reassuring, and stimulating reads. In addition, they can play a part in encouraging enthusiastic reading amongst teenage (or young adult) readers. What are graphic texts and how can we start to understand and explore them? Whilst comics have often been typified in Britain as humourous texts for much younger children, it is important to keep in mind that the majority of what is published today that takes the form of the comic is aimed at older readers. Indeed, in Britain, the history of the comic has always included material specifically for adults, from Ally Sloper’s Half Holiday onwards, but the focus throughout most of the twentieth century was on material for children, in an increasingly segmented market that offered titles for specific ages and separately for boys and girls. For instance, in relation to girls, titles like Twinkle were produced for the youngest girls, Bunty for older readers and Jackie for teenagers. Some comics, like Beano and Dandy (two of the very few weekly British comics still in existence), were seen as for all readers and titles specifically aimed at boys included Victor.
